digitalmars.D - URGENT: the autotester does not test in debug mode

We've been having issues with Phobos unittests failing in debug mode for 
the simple reason the autotester was silently not testing the debug mode 
(which is kind of subtly ironic).

Please review and pull:

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/1171

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/2946

I confess I'm quite unhappy about the churn in makefiles. At a point 
"make unittest" without specifying BUILD=debug or BUILD=release did take 
care of both. At some point, other work made it such that only 
BUILD=release is tested. And now yet some other work brings that back 
where it should have stayed in the first place.

This is quite inefficient spinning of the wheels.

D contributors: please hit once, hit hard, and hit where it matters.


Thanks,

Andrei
